Nicki Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 What aerial have you got? Is it the standard one or an after-market one?Could be a dodgy connection if its the standard one.I've never had any problems with my radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I really can't complain about the reception in mine...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unheard Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 AHA found out what the problem may be, is it an aftermarket radio if so its a £10.65 fixThis adaptor is commonly required on VW's, Seat, Skoda's, Vauxhall and Audi's where the original radio has an integral booster for the aerial connection. This is similar to PC5-52 but has a Din plug which is directly compatible with most aftermarket radio'shttp://www.nexxia.co.uk/Car_Stereo_fitting_kits/skoda.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
